Description

Arduino is a platform that, thanks to its ability to handle a countless set of sensors, allows you to create your dream electronic designs.

The author of the book guides the reader through the world of Arduino starting from describing differences between selected versions of the popular platform. Then he explains how to prepare the workplace so that it is easy to start creating first projects. The book describes, among other things, how to connect Arduino to motors and servo systems, how to display information on LCD display and how to use ultrasonic or infrared sensors to build a robot that avoids obstacles. Moreover, from the book you can learn how to integrate Arduino with iOS system.

Thanks to the information contained in the book:

  • you will learn the secrets of Arduino modules
  • you will use sensors and motors
  • you communicate with the system via the network
